The Pipe [176824 People]
Uploaded: July 11, 2006 20:33:22
This photo was taken during a recent trip to Manitoba, Canada. For several days I'd noticed this gentleman smoking his pipe at the same place during certain times of the day. From the first time I saw him I knew he'd be the perfect subject for a portrait. It took me a few days though to gather enough courage to ask his permission for some photographs. This one is my favorite.
